TMJ RESET

RESET Treatment for TMJ immediate results, holistic, gentle.

RESET is a non-invasive system of sending healing energy to the body through the TMJ joint and the muscles of the jaw by incorporating specific hand placements and healing movements around the face and neck.

Your RESET Session:
Your 90-minute, fully clothed session will include gentle healing touch to your head, shoulders and back. This treatment is designed to rebalance, correct and reset the TMJ plus release tension and emotions which have been stored in the body. This is generally performed with you lying down for deeper relaxation, but can also be applied while seated. Throughout this profound scientific process of healing touch, you may experience waves of deep relaxation as your jaw relaxes and realigns. (Treatments can be divided into two 45-minute sessions if necessary or preferred.)

What is the TMJ?

TMJ are located on both sides of the face in front of the ears, connecting the jawbone to the skull. They’re the most complicated joints in the human body which allows us to open our mouths wide and move our jaws from left to right. The area surrounding and including the TMJ is made up of large powerful muscles, the largest cranial nerve called the Trigeminal nerve, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels and has multitude of sensory distribution and interconnections which are controlled by the body’s local and central nervous system.

Over 80% of the electrical messages from the brain to the muscles and back to the brain are affected by the TMJ. Even a fractional imbalance of the jaw muscles may cause confused electrical messages to the other muscles.

Causes of TMJ Imbalance:
When we are stressed or have certain perceptions which constrict us, we tend to hold the tension in our muscles and in particularly our jaw. We hold approximately 70% of all our tension in our jaw and face. When we hold tension, emotions and mental stress in these area, symptoms start to present themselves, such as:

Accident or blow

Whiplash

Poor dental occlusions

Arthritis

Stress and other psychological factors

Trauma

Constant clenching or teeth grinding

Energetic View of the Jaw:
The jaw and face also have a number of meridians/acupuncture energy lines which also run through this area. Meridians are pathways which carry qi or life force through the body which in turn nourishes the associated organs. Using energy healing techniques with these meridians assists in the energy flow to these areas of the body. The meridians mapped around the jaw and face are the Stomach, Small Intestine, Triple Heater, Gall bladder and Large Intestine.

Energetically the jaw and face are also connected to the fifth or throat chakra. This area governs our expression and communication with the world. The throat chakra is situated directly between our head and our heart which assists in balancing and using both the intellect and intuition in harmony throughout life. This chakra represents the challenges of surrendering our own willpower to Divine will. This brings into play issues of control over situations and events. Balancing this chakra assists in strengthening our will and our ability to release and surrender to the Universe’s Divine force.
